Summary
Duplicate Advisory: OpenClaw: system.run approvals did not bind PATH-token executable identity, enabling post-approval executable rebind
Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-q399-23r3-hfx4. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.1 fail to pin executable identity for non-path-like argv[0] tokens in system.run approvals, allowing post-approval executable rebind attacks. Attackers can modify PATH resolution after approval to execute a different binary than the operator approved, enabling arbitrary command execution.
